Abstract
Light is an important factor to create visual experience in any art exhibition. To understand the preferred lighting condition of the viewers, few studies have experimented with correlated colour temperature (CCT) and Illuminance of light while viewing paintings. However, very few studies have considered different types of light and its effect on viewers’ attention. Also, previous studies have used only category rating to understand viewers’ preference which is a questionable method in this regard. Therefore, in this study an experiment has been designed with quantitative (eye tracking, N = 10) approach to understand the effect of different types of exhibition light on viewers’ attention while viewing similar kind of paintings. The findings from the experimental result is depicting that attention of viewers while viewing similar paintings changes due to different types of light having same CCT and Illuminance.
